Not only will those people be living in smog, but they will have to pay extra for the smog.

With that said, I have no idea how to solve this problem. We could fine the crap out of the heaviest polluters, but that would just result in the rates being raised for the end users.

As far as wind power generation is concerned, I just read something today that says the US is #1 in the generation of power from wind.

Now, another way for us to help all of this out is to stop using the AC, and to use other high draw appliances late at night. If EVERYBODY did their part, we wouldn't have as big a problem.

Last but not least, you DO NOT have to wait until 2012. Half of Congress goes through an election every 2 years, so at least they can be replaced by 2010.

Good luck to all of us.
